Thank You!
We are very fortunate to have such a wonderful group of people who donate their boats year after in support of Hospice. Our skippers go above and beyond the call of duty providing our guests with one of the most unique boating experiences in the world!
The majority of our captains belong to the Youngstown Yacht Club where they keep their boats moored throughout the summer. Most others come from Lewiston, Wilson, Olcott, Niagara-On-The-Lake, and even Toronto, Canada! We certainly couldn't do it without their help and want them to know how much we appreciate their generous donation to Hospice.
One of my favorite stories took place a few years ago when we were setting up for the afternoon cruise at the club. A large sailboat from Toronto pulled up to the north dock and tied up for a visit. After securing his vessel and checking in with customs, he ventured under the tent to see what we were planning. After a brief conversation I asked if he would like to join us in support of Hospice by taking 4-6 guests out on his sailboat for a cruise up the river. He agreed and has made the journey back across the lake several times in support of Hospice!
If you own a large sail or power boat and would like to join our team, please contact Paul Beatty Jr. as soon as possible. You can arrange for your own guests or allow us to assign them for you. Either way you'll be doing a great service for a very worthy cause!
